The turmoil in the capital markets had a significant impact on our estimate of fair value for certain of our securities.  We believe the market values are reflective of a combination of illiquidity and credit impairment.  At June 30, 2009 we have, in Available for Sale (“AFS”) Other Stocks and Bonds, $4.6 million cost basis in pooled trust preferred securities (“TRUPs”).  Those securities are structured products with cash flows dependent upon securities issued by U.S. financial institutions, including banks and insurance companies.  Our estimate of fair value at June 30, 2009 for the TRUPs is approximately $669,000 and reflects the market illiquidity.  With the exception of the TRUPs, to the best of management’s knowledge and based on our consideration of the qualitative factors associated with each security, there were no securities in our investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio at June 30, 2009 with an other-than-temporary impairment.

Given the facts and circumstances associated with the TRUPs we performed detailed cash flow modeling for each TRUP using an industry-accepted model. Prior to loading the required assumptions into the model we reviewed the financial condition of each of the underlying issuing banks within the TRUP collateral pool that had not deferred or defaulted as of June 30, 2009.  Management’s best estimate of a deferral assumption was assigned to each issuing bank based on the category in which it fell.  Our analysis of the underlying cash flows contemplated various default, deferral and recovery scenarios to arrive at our best estimate of cash flows.  Based on that detailed analysis, we have concluded that the other-than-temporary impairment, which captures the credit component in compliance with the new Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2,

“Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” was estimated at $1.4 million at June 30, 2009 and the non credit charge to other comprehensive income was estimated at $3.9 million.  Therefore, the carrying amount of the TRUPs was written down with $1.4 million recognized in earnings as of June 30, 2009.  The cash flow model assumptions represent management’s best estimate and consider a variety of qualitative factors, which include, among others, the credit rating downgrades, the severity and duration of the mark-to-market loss, and the structural nuances of each TRUP.  Management believes that the detailed review of the collateral and cash flow modeling support the conclusion that the TRUPs had an other-than-temporary impairment at June 30, 2009.  We will continue to update our assumptions and the resulting analysis each reporting period to reflect changing market conditions.  Additionally, we do not currently intend to sell the TRUPs and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the TRUPs before the anticipated recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The table below provides more detail on the TRUPs (dollars in thousands).

There were no securities transferred from AFS to Held to Maturity (“HTM”) during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  There were no sales from the HTM portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.  There were $242.2 million of securities classified as HTM for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $157.8 million of securities classified as HTM for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Of the $19.7 million in net securities gains from the AFS portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2009, there were $19.8 million in realized gains and $99,000 in realized losses.  Of the $5.8 million in net securities gains from the AFS portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2008, there were $5.9 million in realized gains and $53,000 in realized losses.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at June 30, 2009 are presented below by contractual maturity.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.  Mortgage-backed securities are presented in total by category due to the fact that mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with varying maturities.  The characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, such as fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder.  The term of a mortgage-backed pass-through security thus approximates the term of the underlying mortgages and can vary significantly due to prepayments.

6.  Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible Assets

Goodwill.  Goodwill totaled $22.0 million at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
We measured our goodwill for impairment at December 31, 2008.  As a result of merging FWNB into Southside Bank in the third quarter of 2008, we have identified Southside Bank as the sole operating segment and reporting unit for our impairment assessment.
 
Step one of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit which, in our case, is the entire entity, to the carrying value of the reporting unit.  If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit, no additional testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, step two of the impairment test must be performed.  At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit.  As a result, we did not record any goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2008.  As of June 30, 2009, there were no trigger events to warrant an updated impairment analysis.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded core deposit intangibles totaling $2.0 million in connection with the acquisition of FWBS.  Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated lives, which range from four to ten years.

Core Deposit Intangibles.  Core deposit intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):

   
Gross Intangible Assets
    
Accumulated Amortization
